Roofing help wanted: Ishita's home in Prayagraj
Ishita, a retired bus driver, needs a few skilled and unskilled helpers for a 1-weekend roof repair in Prayagraj.
🇮🇳 Uttar Pradesh, India1,627 views
I'm a retired bus driver living in Prayagraj. During the last storm water started coming through the ceiling in 3 places, and the bathroom is no longer usable. A roofer quoted $640, which isn't something I can pay.
The good news: a local hardware store has donated the roofing sheets and nails. What I don't have is people to do the work. I'm looking for anyone handy who can help over one long weekend.
Experience helps, but it isn't essential - I'll have a licensed roofer supervising for safety. All you need is sturdy shoes, gloves and a willingness to work. I'll provide lunch, water and lots of thanks.
The work will be done on the ground and roof with proper harnesses. If you can only help for a few hours, that's welcome too.
Whatever you can give, even just sharing this page, means a lot.

I was in a similar spot a few years ago and it did get better. My husband and I read this together. Blessings.
